∟Relation between HTML and MathML

This section describes how HTML is related to MathML, which an XML-based mathematical notation language that can be embedded in HTML document to present math formulas.

MathML (Math Markup Language) is an XML-based mathematical notation language that can be embedded in HTML document to present math formulas.

Here is a good example of an HTML document with embedded MathML formulas:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- MathML_Example.html

-->
<html>
<head>
<title>MathML Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The Quadratic Formula created by a MathML code:
</p>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block">
  <mrow>
    <mi>x</mi>
    <mo>=</mo>
    <mfrac>
      <mrow>
        <mo form="prefix">&minus;</mo>
        <mi>b</mi>
        <mo>&PlusMinus;</mo>
        <msqrt>
          <msup>
            <mi>b</mi>
            <mn>2</mn>
          </msup>
          <mo>&minus;</mo>
          <mn>4</mn>
          <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
          <mi>a</mi>
          <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
          <mi>c</mi>
        </msqrt>
      </mrow>
      <mrow>
        <mn>2</mn>
        <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
        <mi>a</mi>
      </mrow>
    </mfrac>
